Mission News: 2009 UMCOR World Hunger Fundraiser

PUMC raised nearly $3,000
n August of 2009 PUMC participated in a month long fundraiser for world hunger through UMCOR. We also highlighted one of UMCOR's many programs that educates farmers in impoverished countries about sustainable agriculture.

Tubes of mini M&Ms were given out to church members. The members were then asked to return the tubes full of quarters (approx. $14). For the price of one fast food meal per week the tube could be filled.

We surpassed our goal of 500 dollars and raised nearly 3,000. Over 70 families could be fed for a month through UMCOR with the money raised.
